Propertius, Catullus, and Horace deployed the first-person speaker in a variety of ways that either bolster or undermine the link between this figure and the poet himself. In \u003ci\u003eI, the Poet\u003c\/i\u003e, Kathleen McCarthy offers a new approach to understanding the ubiquitous use of a first-person voice in Augustan-age poetry, taking on several of the central debates in the field of Latin literary studies--including the inheritance of the Greek tradition, the shift from oral performance to written collections, and the status of the poetic \"I-voice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn light of her own experience as a twenty-first century reader, for whom Latin poetry is meaningful across a great gulf of linguistic, cultural, and historical distances, McCarthy positions these poets as the self-conscious readers of and heirs to a long tradition of Greek poetry, which prompted them to explore radical forms of communication through the poetic form. Informed in part by the \"New Lyric Studies,\" \u003ci\u003eI, the Poet\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal not only to scholars of Latin literature but to readers across a range of literary studies who seek to understand the Roman contexts which shaped canonical poetic genres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen McCarthy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501739557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501739552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Kathleen McCarthy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44138608034047,"sku":"9781501739552","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7cb8bd29-523f-4ff9-b3c1-e8e2d0990108.jpg?v=1687900583","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-the-poet-kathleen-mccarthy-9781501739552","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
